Q: My cousin wanted to know that keeping beard is compulsory for muslim men? Is there no excuse of not keeping it?

Because there are excuses for men if he doesn't feel attracted towards his wife in joint heavy big eyebrows then she can trim it for the sake of her husband. But why the same rule doesn't applies to a lady? Kya shariat se koi gunjaish nahi hai for not keeping beard?
